They haven't admitted that at all, you are making that up. As the Ward situation has evolved and as their own situation has evolved the Golovkin team's view about Ward has changed, it has changed because of the facts on the ground.

It is not a risk/reward thing, it is a "he can't fight and if he suddenly has sorted out his promotional mess then that fight still probably cannot be made for a while because neither man wants to fight the other off PPV, not least because Ward has a $1.75m minimum guaranteed purse with his promoter.
